Tamir Cohen should tell him.

It's a bit harsh of the Burnley fans to give St Owen the moniker "Judas". After all, he did get them out of the Championship and allowed them to bask in the glory of the Premiership, starting well and then going the same way as all small backwaters and getting a right dicking from the larger boys, including Bolton, before going back from whence they came, to do things with their brother's sheep. Or something.
You can see why they would bring in the relgious imagery. He has gone for more money (to spend) and he did tell them that he would do something and then did something else. And he may have kissed them as they knelt in the Garden of Gethsemane, but would have had to get in between them and their mothers. But the man obviously holds them in great regard, likes the town even though he probably won't be able to walk through its streets again, which is probably a good thing, and gave them the most success they have had since the 1960's. Judas? He should be given the keys to the town. Even if they are made out of pastry.
However, they aren't the only ones to get their religious history wrong. It was Joshua who led the Jews into Canaan after Moses had become too big for his boots. So, does that make Brian Laws the saviour of Burnley? Don't hold your breath. No, please don't.

Now that our former manager has departed the north west, we will be looking at the press reports in a different way. Previously we have looked at them through bleeding eyes after trying to claw them out with our bare hands as we could look no more. Now we are trying to resist the rose tinted glasses.

Phil McNulty at the BBC, who seems to have made Bolton a season long project, has noticed what seems to have bypassed many of our Burnley friends; if you continue to go on about Owen Coyle you won't have enough time to get behind your team. So leave it.

Obviously, depending on which paper you read, Bolton either deserved the win and played well or didn't. The Currant suggests that the football that was played was "far removed from the Gary Megson style that Bolton supporters grew to hate so much" whereas The Guardian suggests that Burnley were the better side in the first half, obviously deciding that as a northern paper it has to be on the side of the most northerly team. But really, most of the papers concentrate on the fact that this was St Owen's first game against Burnley. Now that that is over, maybe we can concentrate on football, hmmm?

Otherwise it appears that, even after St Owen and Mr Whinger had a head to head after the double header last week when Mark Davies took a header to the floor after William Gallas tried to remove his leg from his head (eh?), Bolton will be taking Jack Wilshere on loan for the rest of the season. With Valdimir Weiss joining on loan from Citeh, if this deal comes off, and Bolton can probably offer Wilshere more first team football than his other suitors West Ham which Winegear will be asking for, we will have two exciting midfielders who could do a lot of good to get us further up the table. This may mean that Matty Taylor, who apparently played well last night, and Tamir Cohen, who may have been living off his early season goals for a bit too long, will be looking over their shoulder. It may also mean a move to a more permanent 4-4-2, which is what we are all looking for. As long as we win. Now, if only we could evoke the spirit of the late nineties and gazump West Ham and Spurs for Eidur.

Just joking kids. As always, I will say until tomorrow and hope to be here.
